End of Semester Mixtape

2005_01_07mixtape.gifNobody said it’d be easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard. It’s the time of year, much like that time of year, that Mixtapes are not in the mandate. Sorry if the music selection is scant this week.
1. Okay – “Now”, and Okay – “Compass”
Mr Okay is intensely ill and hooked up to an IV machine all day due to a rare form of Crohn’s. Incredibley, he also released two albums today. Okay!
2. Matt Mays + El Torpedo – “Cocaine Cowgirl” Video
The pride of Dartmouth, N.S.
3. Thunderbirds are Now! – “From Skulls”
Stolen from Travis.
4. Decemberists – “The Engine Driver”
Album came out last week or the week before or whenever.
5. Bright Eyes ft. Spleen – “Mushaboom”
This is a cover of everyone’s favourite Canadian songstress, mentioned in last Sunday’s NYT. Thanks Brooklyn Vegan.
We do our best because that is all we can do. Until next week!

    Hi Josh!
    Nice mixtape. I see Matt Mays and his El Torpedo band members all the time around Halifax. They are indeed the pride of the region…

    i interviewed him this morn. i was all stressed out and hungover and hungry and upset at the world, so the interview didn’t turn out very well.
    he’s dreamy though. maybe you two should start dating?

    Ooh, sorry to hear that. Was he wearing his hair in braids like in the video? I like the braids.
    He is actually my Halifax boyfriend.

    that’s cute! but he took the braids out. and he looked like he gained weight. not that there’s anything wrong with gaining weight. i saw him at blow up on saturday too.

    I saw Matt Mays when he closed the Marquee, it was great. He wishes he were Neil Young but there’s nothing wrong with that…and he’s MY Halifax boyfriend, not yours.

    taryn! don’t settle for matt mays. you’re too good for him. if i were you, i’d try to locate buck 65 asap. i think he would make for great summer fling.

  • Taryn

    Haha Buck 65…I’m holding out for Joel Plaskett.
